Answer to Question 1

 (Based on a song addressed to Saraswati, the goddess of music and learning) is an example of a kriti in Natai raga, adi tala.

Answer to Question 2

 A Carnatic music concert is built on a series of segments (a string of songs).
 Each composition is in a specific raga and tala, and is usually based on a song from the known repertory of Carnatic music.
 Many of these song-based compositions will be optionally extended by improvisation forms preceding, within, or following the song.
 After the usual opening etude (varnam), a string of contrasting kritisthe principal song form of South Indian classical musicbuilds to the climax or main item of the concert featuring the most extensive improvisations and a drum solo.
 The end of the concert has a more relaxed atmosphere with lighter selections (e.g., devotional music, religious verses, or songs from the classical dance tradition).
